The handicaps were made by Alessrs. C. J. Townsend, Fiilford 

 Arnoldi and W. Dickson. Gypsy and Jamboree have each protested 

 against the other. The first pVize was a set of signals presented by 

 Vice-Commodore Cosgrave. the second was the entrance fee, and the 

 third a money prize presented by the Commodore. This finishes the 

 season, but the clulj will endeavor to keep up the interest through 

 the winrer by a series of meetings, at which instruction will be given 

 in knotting, splicing and similar work. 



NEW HAVEN Y. C. FALL EEGATTA.-The New Haven Y. O. 

 closed their season on Oct. 7 with their fall regatta, over the regular 

 course, 10 miles to windward and backfor Classes C and D and a short 

 cotmie inside for Class E. The race was sailed in a good lower sail 

 breeze from S.W.. the start being made at ll;.33 A. M. with the follow- 

 ing starters: Class C— Wild Duck. Alexander Lutz: Rajah. Commo- 

 dore .L G. Beecher; Hapyy Thought, G. M. Graves. Class D.— En-

 John N. .McAuley. Class E.— Alice. E. W. Smith; Roamer. H. W. 

 Avis. Starting with topsails and jibtcpsaite the freshening breeze soon 

 brought in the kites. Endeavor steered direct for the mark, but the 

 others sailed some distance to the leeward of it. A shift of wind 

 helped the latter, and Wild Duck and Stranger both turned ahead of 

 Endeavor. The full times were:

A CHALEENGE FROM GALATEA.— Mr. J. Beavor Webb was 

 called home by btisiness and left quite hurriedly on the Elbe last 

 week. Before sailing he sent to Secretaty Minton," of the New York 

 Y.C, a challenge on behalf of Galatea to sail a series of five matches 

 for the ("up, as late in the season as possible, which chaUenge will be 

 considered at the meeting of the club on Oct. 22. Mr. Webb also sent 

 the following letter to Mr. Minton: "Tuesday, Oct. 6, 1885. My Dear 

 Mr. Minton— I have received some letters "to-day which render it 

 necessary for me to return to England at once. 1 leave two photos 

 —one of the Genesta and the other of the Galatea— for the New York 

 Y.C, which I trust they will accept as a small souvenir of the very 

 pleasant time I have spent in America; also of the great pleasure I 

 have experienced in meeting .\merican yachtsmen and their kindness 

 to me, and trusting that if I do not five long enough to win back the 

 jimerica's Cup I may at any rate live long enough to find that Eng- 

 lish and American yachtsmen may each day become better friends, 

 and in the interest of the sport sink all prejudice as to cutter, sloop 

 or centerboard type, so that tne day we may adopt a uniform type of 

 yacht, be it what it may, and never forget the great z"St given by the 

 New York Y.C. to yachting by its open and sportsmanlike defence of 

 —if I may so call it— that national institution, the America's Cup. I 

 bid J ou an revoir. not goodbye, as I hope ere another year is over to 

 meet you once more and, win or lose, return to England with an in- 

 creased appreciation of the country and the sportsmanlike feeling 

 shown by the members of your cltib to foreign yachtsmen. With 

 earnest good wishes for tlie prosperity of American yachting I re- 

 main yours, very truly, J. Beavor Webb." Mr. Webb takes with him 

 an order for a design for a large steam yacht for an American gen- 

 tleman.

GENESTA HOMEWARD BOUND.— By this time Genesta is no 

 doubt well on her homeward way, as she sailed from Staten Island on 

 Thursday last. Mr. Francis P. Osbom, formerly owner of the schooner 

 Nettie, made an offer of $20,000 to Mr. J. Beavor Webb, but the price 

 asked was $-30,000, which Mr. Osbom was not billing to pay. It had 

 been intended to return with the racing mast, which is only 4ft. 6in. 

 longer than the jury mast which brought her over, but some of the 

 crew objected to the larger stick, and on Oct. 2 she was towed to 

 Poillon's yard and docked alongside the bark N. Thayer. The bark's 

 mainyard was well stayed with lifts from the topma.st head and one 

 to the dock on the port side, and a fall rigged and can-ied to the 

 bark's capstan. Her mast was then hoisted out and the juryma«t 

 stepped. On Monday she towed down to her old anchorage, where 

 the rigging was completed, her trysail bent and provisions and water 

 taken on board. The lower streaks of planking in her bulwarks were 

 also removed. Her navigator. Capt. Saunders, joined her and by 

 Tuesday all was ready, but owing to the storm she did not start. On 

 Thursday, when the N. E . storm was over, she started awav from 

 TocnpkinsviUe at 3 P, M.. receiving farewell salutes from the few 

 yachts at the anchorage, as well as from the shore. Only 16 of her 

 crew returned with her, as 3 of them, the steward, carpenter and a 

 seaman declined to do so and remained ashore, the two former re- 

 turning by the Germanic. Her spars and small boat will go back by 

 steamer.
